Website Migrations
Starting at $500
Website migration project range from very easy to very complex. The primary driver that determines the cost of the project is the extent to which the process can be automated. A simple website built on a well known content management system like WordPress, Expression Engine, Movable Type, Drupal, Joomla, can be relatively painless. The process often typically begins by using an automated script to export content from the existing website and import into the new site. Pricing can be determined after we review the data and the platform used on the current site.
On the other end of the spectrum is migrating large amounts of unnormalized data from one site and mapping it to the new site. This usually requires lots of custom scripting and complex database work. Such projects are always priced at an hourly rate.
On occasion, clients have data such as user profiles or published posts that need to be manually migrated. This can be a time consuming cut & paste process. Such projects are always priced at an hourly rate of $28 per hour.
